You never realize how much you love a place until you prepare yourself to leave it for other destinations. I have lived in Vermont my whole life and have learned to appreciate it's beauties and characteristics like a true native should. I have traveled minimally throughout the United States and I have only read about Europe in books and listened to friends adventures. Growing up in in a state filled with beautiful people and rich landscapes has been wonderful, but it has also triggered my interest for traveling throughout the United States and abroad.
On June 19, I will leave Vermont to travel overseas for my first time to Neustadt, Germany. There, I will stay with a host family for two weeks, then travel to Berlin where I will stay until it is time to leave for home. Throughout this time spent in Germany, I will also be renting a bike and riding daily. Words can not describe how excited yet scared I am about this whole experience. I am looking forward to speaking German, learning about the culture, but I wonder if I will become homesick too.
On my blog, I will keep followers updated with my whereabouts and experiences in Germany for the next three weeks.
Here's to the beginning of a life changing experience!
